Such an inconsequential threat. I think you would get a much more animated reaction by doing one of the following:
  1. start an international fund to reelect George W.
  2. start a campaign to declare Bud beer an enemy combatant and send all Bud beer for incarceration in Guantanomo
  3. hire Steve Jobs to lead a literacy is us campaign whose focus is to get people to read books
  4. start a fund to give George W. a scholarship to the Ceasar Chavez School for Orators and English
  5. start a grassroots movement in conjunction with the National Rifle Association to have the US Congress award an medal -- to be called the Dick Cheney Good Citizen Award -- that comes with a tax-free million-dollar cash prize, to the American who accidentally shoots the greatest number of his or her friends while hunting
  6. start an petition drive in the US to have Saudi Arabia buy the US for $1 plus unlimited oil

Now these are things that would get our attention. The Readius -- that only appeals to us ebook geeks. The Bud boys and Steve Jobs couldn't care less.
